Form runs slow

[Affliction6]

Lets say I have a form with a ton of objects in it.  Do they all initialise on the load?  Is there a way to avoid it?

Also, it there something out there to help optimize a form?

Thanks,

Yes they all initialize ......it tales less resources if they are hidden .....but that is probably not what you want.

Hi,

Adobe also have a guide for improving performance here...http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/DynamicInteractiveFormPerformance.pdf

One tip we got was that all of the calculate events fire when the form opens and is re-laid / re-rendered. We "try" to have calculations on the exit event rather than the calculate event, on the basis that the exit event is not processed until the user exits that field.

It would be interesting to hear views on this.

Good luck,

Niall
